WIRELESS NETWORK SETUP (basic)

The Mede8er MED400X2 is only compatible with the Mede8er Wireless Dongle 802.11n (Other brands will not work)

Refer to User Instructions supplied with the Mede8er dongle for detailed wireless connection setup.

Only use model MED10WFB WiFi Dongle as it is supplied together with the USB extension cable base.

WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION

Plug the MED10WFB into the USB extension base that was supplied with your Mede8er. Plug the USB cable into one of the USB host ports on the side of the Mede8er. Extend the cable and try to place the base in a position that is away from any metal object that could effect the RF signal strength. The best placement for the dongle will depend on your particular environment. In order to get the best placement you may need to extend the length with an additional USB extension cable.

IMDE8BR Air Bus Bus Bus Bus CANDFR METH40002 TV EHS

MEDIA LIBRARY

The Mede8er Media Library has five built in standard views ie Movie View, Music View, Picture View, List View, List View and Preview View. The Media Library has been designed so that the view can be easily changed on the fly. In the Media Library you have the option of changing the Views Manually or you can enable the 'Auto View' option in the Setup Menu. If the 'Auto View' option is enabled the X2 will automatically save the View of the folder when you change the View manually. The next time you enter the same folder it will automatically change to the saved View. Auto View mode requires that the X2 has 'write' permissions as it needs to save a xml file to each folder. Auto View is disabled in Jukebox mode.

XML SEARCH (JUKEBOX FUNCTION)

The X2 has a built in XML Search facility that will allow you to sort and arrange your Video Files by pre defined xml filters. The XML Search can be used with content on External USB Hard Drive, Samba Network and NFS Network.

Library Preparation for XML Search operation

The Media Library must conform to the Mede8er standard with all the relevant movie file information in its own folder. A typical folder will contain - Video File - Folder.jpg - About.jpg - XML File - Subtitle file. Once you have arranged your Video Collection into individual folders you can use Y2M (YAMJ To Mede8er) or Thumbgen to scan the folders to make the requires images and xml files.

Scanning your Library

In order to provide XML Search functionality the X2 must scan your library and build a Database file. To scan your library you must focus on the Root Folder of your library and press the 'Menu' button and then select the 'Scan Folder' option. The X2 will start the scan process and Scan all folders and sub folders in order to build the dBase file. The Search criteria is to only include folders that have a valid Y2M or Thumbgen XML inside. The folder depth level is not limited in the X2 firmware but the path of the string cannot be longer than 512 characters and the max number of sub folders cannot exceed 4096. The Database file 'Mede8er.db' will be save to the root of the folder that has been scanned. Network shares must be 'Write Enabled' for the scan process to complete. If new content is added to the root folder then the scan operation must be repeated. Scanning time is quick and it should take about 30 seconds to scan over 300 video files.

Note: The Maximum amount of Movies in one Database is currently +- 1000. If you scan a library with more movies than 1000 then the operation of the xml Search can become erratic and you may experience that the Mede8er often crashes.

Autoplay Function

The Autoplay files can be stored on SD Card or USB Drive.

1. Create a folder in the root of the drive named "Autoplay" (Case Sensitive)
2. Put either Video OR Audio files into this folder
3. If you require the files to play in order name them as following 01name - 02name
4. 03name - 04name - 05name - 06name - 07name - 08name - 09name - 10name - 11name up

Autoplay Operation

On power up the Mede8er will look for the “autoplay” folder and if found it will automatically play the contents of the “autoplay” folder. The contents will be played with the “Repeat All” as default. If a USB Drive is plugged into the Mede8er it will auto scan for the “Autoplay” folder and if found it will start the Autoplay function.

REMOTE CONTROL OVER NETWORK

The X2 supports remote control via another networked device running a DLNA Digital Media Controller. That includes Windows 7 "Play To". Please consult your own Windows Help Guide for assistance. To play media hosted on the X2 requires a UPNP Server (still in development).

Remote Control from mobile device such as a iPhone, iPad or any device that has WiFi and a built in Web Browser. Navigate to Setup Menu and enable Web Remote. Enter the Mede8er IP into your Web Browser with the correct Port number eg http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1024 "x" is your actual IP

NFS (Network File System)

Mede8er by default uses Samba to stream content on a local network and this should be more than sufficient for all users. NFS can be used when streaming on a local network but you may need take care of 'Flow Control problems by using a managed switch. If you are streaming from a Windows PC you will require a NFS client to be running on the host PC. The Mede8er has been tested and verified with HaneWin but other NFS Servers should work equally as well. You can download HaneWin at http://www.hanewin.net/nfs-e.htm

Setting up NFS shortcuts on the Mede8er

Select the NFS tab on the Media Library screen. To "Add" "Modify" or "Delete" a NFS shortcut press the "Menu" button and the Menu screen will open. Select Add NFS Client and a "ADD nfs Dialogue" screen will open. Fill in the IP Address of the Host PC and the Share Name (Folder Path).

NOTE: The share must be inputted as an "absolute path" ie C/YOURSHARENAME

IMPORTANT NOTE:

You may have to enable "Flow Control" or disable "Jumbo Frames" on your Network Card settings if you are using NFS with a 1GB switch on your network.
